My recent love situation |
Standing naked, He finds himself At the exit gates Of some beautiful, exciting But ending fate. He can never again return So He throws back a rose, Which lands with a flutter, To rest at Her toes. But She doesn’t accept The petty flower From the five time redeemer And the one time coward. He’s left in disillusion And abandons the path. He tries to live in the moment, But thinks only of the past, To when They discussed destiny Across a solid gold table, And how love would come Like some cryptic fable. But now, He regrets believing In that higher power. He’s just a four time redeemer And a two time coward. What crime did He commit To deserve the intimate twitch, That’s kept Him from reaching The unraveling switch? He knows he’s always had it, Deep within his heart, But it lays well buried Below His poetry and His art. It’s the Ultimate Enigma, And it always leaves Him sour, The three time redeemer And the three time coward. He digs himself a grave Beneath the floorboards of truth, While She continues to live every new day In an innocent youth. He can only sense an edge, Only finite things, So He shrugs off a new lover To be a meaningless fling. He wants it to be love But knows history wont allow Her To be with the two time redeemer And the four time coward. Living in the shadows Can be very frightening But life is the bivouac Of a battle worth fighting. So he grits His teeth And breaks out of the gloom, To the kingdom of sentience, Free from His doom. He runs through the dusk And climbs the Midnight Tower To escape from the one time redeemer And the five time coward. |
